The San Jose Sharks are currently last place in the Western Conference, this means a lot for the Senators because they own the Sharks’ first round pick this year.
When long-time Senators captain, Erik Karlsson was traded to the Sharks on September 13th, 2018, it was initially met with sadness and resentment towards Senators management.
This was because there is a history of Senators stars getting traded in the prime of their careers. Think Karlsson, Spezza, Duchene, Stone, Hoffman, the list goes on and on.
